The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.

Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

If this is your first visit, be sure to check out the FAQ. You will have to register before you can post or view full size images in the forums.

The World of Hyranden, map by The Red Epic

Hey Guys,

Here is a world map that i have been working on for myself for a long time. Basically it is the world in which a game i am developing (strategy boardgame) takes place. Its also going to be the centerpiece for my booth at Gen Con in August, so if you are going, look forward to seeing it framed hanging behind me while i ply my wares Its pretty big, around 4x3.5 feet, and its as detailed as my sanity would allow! It will also be for sale either as a poster or the framed print. The style is a mix of my own and Diamond's "Dark Empire" map whom i thanked already for inspiring me with some of the best maps i've seen in general. Shout out to my Carto brotha, haha.
